There are still some things to iron out (no pun intended) but I'm officially launching Cinnamon Sangria as a business! I'm thrilled beyond words! All of the exhausting legalities are being worked out. Uggh, why does the government have to drown us in paperwork?
I have a friend who is helping build my website and logo (ok she's really doing ALL of it). I can't wait to see the final results! It's all I think about.
Of course there will be purses and a few other fun things! I've got to get a photographer to take better pictures as you know I'm not the best at picture taking and I want to present my items in the best possible way. I'm positive I'll be blogging more often because I'll have better pictures.
In the meantime until I have my online "Open House" I've been making items to stock my shelves and did I mention the paperwork? I can't remember the last time I was so busy but I'm not complaining.
Stay tuned for more exciting information. I'll be sharing more and more as things work themselves out.

Happy Belated New Year!
Happy Belated New Year! First off I can't believe it's been since October since I've posted. That's completely unacceptable. I haven't fallen off the of Earth I've just been busy with life. I have crafted since we last visited but not as much as I would have liked. But it's a New Year and time for fresh new beginnings. I don't really like New Year's resolutions but this year I have 2.
1. Spend more time on my business which includes updating this blog on a regular basis
2. Floss daily. :)
One of the reasons I've been MIA is because I've been traveling. The husband and I spent the holidays and New Year's in New Zealand. It was an amazing trip! I have about 400 pictures to go through. I picked a few to share with you below. I wanted to share all 400 but somehow I figured you couldn't sit and go through that many pictures. We saw a little bit of everything. The country has 4 million people and 40 million sheep, I think I saw every single one of them. They are so cute. We went to a lavendar farm, I wish I had a better picture. There was a little cottage there that sold all things lavendar, soaps, satchets, etc.
We went to a Glacier Mountain and went to a lake that was made from glacier water and icebergs. You'll see below how big they are. They are white and clean when they first appear but then over time dirt gets on them and they look like rocks, but they are 100% ice!

Another Purse
I made this purse a few weeks ago and finally got around to having a picture of it taken. It's Amy Butler's Swing Bag. And Amy Butler fabric. See the previous post for more pictures of different purses with this fabric. I had extra fabric so I figured I'd make another bag because I gave the ones away that I previously made.
The bow can also be used as a belt. Double duty, I love it! I'm going to make a ton of these belts. I feel like they can add a little something to a weekend outfit with jeans.

The weather has finally changed here and I can soon bring out warm winter projects. I can't wait to share what else I've been making!

Purses!
I made these first three purses over a year ago as hostess gifts for my bridal showever. I think they are so cute and fun. So cute and fun that I made the bottom two for myself!
The top three are all made with Amy Butler fabric. I think she has some of the best fabrics on the market. Finding these pictures made me remember that I had stashed away some extra fabric so my current project is being made of this exact fabric. The bottom two are made from fabric that I found in NYC last Thanksgiving. Everytime I carry them I always think of that trip.
Although you can't tell from the picture each purse has 4 metal feet for it to stand on so the bottoms don't get dirty and also each has a snap closure and inside pocket to keep all of my little treasures safe.

A Warm Welcome!
Hello all! Welcome to my blog and thank you for visiting. I've decided to start this blog as a way to show my latest creative endeavors. Mostly sewing but from time to time I have a few other crafty tricks up my sleeve. I'm so glad you dropped by for a visit. Please feel free to comment on any post.
